Libwally is an extensive library that provides a considerable amount of wallet-related functionality, much of it not available through `bitcoin-cli`. Following is an overview of some functionality not otherwise covered in this chapter.

## Summary: Using Other Functions in Libwally
There is much more that you can do with Libwally, more than can be covered in this chapter or even listed in this section. Notably beyond what was covered in this chapter, you can perform cryptographic functions, encode private keys, build complete transactions, and use Elements. The [Libwally docs](https://wally.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) are the place to go for more information, though as of this writing they are both limited and out-of-date. The Libwally header files are a backup if the docs are incomplete or wrong.
